Lions HC Dan Campbell said Monday that RB David Montgomery needs season-ending surgery on the MCL he injured in the Week 15 loss to the Bills. It's a massive blow to a Detroit offense that's fueled by its running game. But Montgomery's absence figures to turn RB Jahmyr Gibbs into a league-winner. In three games without Montgomery last year, Gibbs averaged 18.0 carries, 5.7 targets, and 132 total yards per game.
